Benefits of technology

[0010]Another advantage of the invention is to provide a lens cover, wherein the cover panel is rotated sidewardly and flipped at the side of the cover body, such that the sight of the viewer will not be blocked by the cover panel. In addition, the flipped cover panel will not be hit by any object to prevent the cover body from being broken accidentally.
[0011]Another advantage of the invention is to provide a lens cover, wherein two folding movements of the cover panel at two different directions are continuously provided in order to move the cover panel in the uncovered position.
[0012]Another advantage of the invention is to provide a lens cover, wherein a guiding slot is formed at a front portion of the cover body to guide the cover panel to be slid back to i

Problems solved by technology

However, such lens cover has several drawbacks.
Furthermore, when the cover panel is flipped upwardly, the cover panel will block the sight of the shooter.
Since the hinge must be located at the exterior of the tubular body, the hinge is not protected.
In other words, the shutter type lens cover will involve a relatively complicated structure comparing with the flip type lens cover.
More importantly, the shutter blades will be jamme
